Description:
Released on ABC Records, “Sittin’ On A Poor Man’s Throne” is a commanding Southern soul performance from the legendary Bobby “Blue” Bland. Produced by Steve Barri and Michael Omartian, the track pairs Bland’s gravelly, gospel-inflected voice with rich string arrangements and a slow-burning funk groove.

The song’s tale of pride, struggle, and redemption resonates with working-class soul themes of the 1970s. The B-side, “I Intend To Take Your Place,” continues the emotional weight, blending heartache and self-assurance in equal measure.

“Sittin’ On A Poor Man’s Throne” stands as one of Bland’s finest mid-’70s efforts — revered among collectors and DJs for its cinematic soul production, heartfelt delivery, and timeless message of dignity in adversity.
